From Reviews:
The man who stopped an express train. The man who was allowed to enter China without a passport before normalization of diplomatic relations. The Mighty Guy recounts the many frenzies of Showa cinema with explosive anecdotes, told with gusto. Abundant film stills are included with a generous offering.

It contains about 6 vintage posters and 40 stills, and I was also happy to see a very young Ruriko Asakura and Jo Shishido.
